632 is a solid chipset if starts similar to Redmi 6 pricepoint. Xiaomi is out to dominate all segments till around 20K. If they release Mi9 undercutting One Plus by a decent margin(price it just under 30K), then they can dominate till 30K price point. High end will be with Samsung and Apple. This year Samsung has a good advantage as S10 series prices are way better than iphone xs/r prices.
